​

The Aggressor eFire shirt adds powered heat elements to the most versatile and comfortable layering system available. Designed specifically for KLIM mid-layers and outerwear, the Aggressor eFire heated base layer traps body heat to ensure consistent warmth for a cold day on the snow. KLIM’s eFire heated technology features two vertical panels on the chest and one vertical panel on the upper back. The heating element includes three heat modes – low, medium and high – with long-lasting heating filaments powered by a USB-C charged battery with a hidden zipper battery pocket.

WARNING: Do not use this product in locations that can be submerged by water.
WARNING: Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lighting.
WARNING: Electronic devices, including heated gloves, eFire base-layers and vests, can cause interference with avalanche transceivers and diminish your ability to conduct a search or be located. To minimize interference, keep a minimum distance between your electronic devices and your avalanche transceiver as follows: in search mode, 20 inches (50cm) and in transmit mode, 8 inches (20cm). Reference the owner’s manual for your avalanche transceiver for additional information

This would be awesome. This way you are covered without over dressing. Had this conversation with irina adams before. She thinks that i am over dressing and that is one of the reasons i have more trouble with fogging goggles. She could be right but I'm on the better to have and not need than need and not have program. I usually wear under armor 4.0 or klim 3.0 underlayer and klim midlayer also. She about had a freak out when i told her that.

Christopher, is this available now?

when I contacted them to check on it they told me they arrived at the end of December and were listed on their website today. I think they will be available for actual ordering shortly.

As do I.
I just find for the majority of my riding Base 3 + Inferno seems to work nicely with an uninsulated mono suit.
Its SO EASY to open the vents on the suit to let in cold air and bleed out hot air.
But its a MAJOR PITA to strip off the gear to add another layer after the fact.

Surprises me KLIM chose to go with heated BASE layer rather than heated MID-LAYER.
Would love to know WHY they went that route?

Seems like you get more bang for your buck on a base layer. Easier to heat you up and trap it with mid layer or mono suit than do the reverse of that.

and it may just be that simple.
Closer to skin, more BTU actually making contact with you than with the outer layer.
Just that most electric garments are MID layer or OUTER layer.

I wear a base layer, uninsulated monosuit, and sweat my butt off! So I'm not really in the market for heated gear, but that last warning would make it tough sell for me:

"WARNING: Electronic devices, including heated gloves, eFire base-layers and vests, can cause interference with avalanche transceivers and diminish your ability to conduct a search or be located. To minimize interference, keep a minimum distance between your electronic devices and your avalanche transceiver as follows: in search mode, 20 inches (50cm) and in transmit mode, 8 inches (20cm). Reference the owner’s manual for your avalanche transceiver for additional information"

I guess if you only turned it on for the trail ride in/out then maybe, but how many people have forgot to turn a beacon on?

100% VALID POINT.
Will be interesting to hear how KLIM deals with that obvious issue as this rolls out into public use.

burn your titties off for the small cost of $199

I guess now I have check out my gloves. That is a deal breaker for me also.
I have not only forgot to turn it on but even forgot to take it once. Got back and thought i lost it until i realized i never took it.

you could just turn the gloves OFF when the beacon comes out to do a search pattern.

How can i dig someone out with cold hands?

Ive been using the klim heated gloves ever since they came out. Amazing on the really cold days. Bought the heated klim vest a few weeks ago. In the morning when it’s really cold it’s nice to turn on the vest for the trail ride in and not have to over layer. Turn the vest off when riding as I get super hot and sweaty. Turn on when stop for lunch if it’s real cold out and for the trail ride home if needed.

As for klim, they offer 4 different powered gloves.
each with a different level of Thinsulate insulation.
From 0 Grams to 400+ Grams if I recall.
You would only be cold if you had chosen the ZERO gram insulated glove for the day.
